This event has now happened and is being offered as a watch back. You will be sent a copy of the recording.

Have you felt intimidated by the uptake of AI in the media industry? Are you looking to downscale your fear and increase your confidence with the likes of ChatGPT, Gemini, and more in a practical way? 

Join journalist Chris Stokel-Walker for a new workshop on how to use AI to your advantage as a journalist – including levelling up your day-to-day productivity. We'll cover:

• How to use open AI to keep on top of email management - including identifying emails lost in the PR quagmire;
• How to recycle rejected or overlooked pitches for other editors;
• How to identify potential interviewees for stories;
• How to conduct a first draft of desk research on a story;
• How to conduct a first draft of pulling out key points and quotes from interviews;
• How to conduct a first draft of fact-checking a draft.

As with all our events, there will also be the chance to ask your own questions both live and in advance.

Want to see this and every other event we run for just £6.99 a month? Become a Journo Resources member here and help us in our mission to build a better journalism industry.
